What are briquettes?

Briquettes are small metallic "tablets" or "cylinders" manufactured through a pressing process (briquetting) of metal shavings or powders. Metallic powder briquettes are cold-pressed using roller briquetting machines with the addition of binders to provide mechanical strength to the final product. Shaving briquettes are cold-pressed using hydraulic briquetting machines without the need for any binders. The purpose of pressing these metallic powders is the extraction of liquids/oils and increasing the material's density so that it can be used more efficiently in the melting process in electric furnaces.

Briquettes from Renova Reciclagem

CARBON STEEL BRIQUETTES
GR-80

The Renova carbon steel briquettes have been developed for use in electric furnaces or converters in steel mills and foundries. They are excellent substitutes for scrap and pig iron, offering high density, ease of transportation/storage, and stable chemical composition.

The distinctive feature of Renova briquettes is that they are produced solely from metallic powders with a high iron content and low oxide content.

BRIQUETTES
STAINLESS STEEL
BH-85CR

The Renova stainless steel briquettes have been developed for use in electric furnaces in steel mills and foundries. They are excellent substitutes for traditional stainless steel scrap, offering high density, ease of transportation/storage, and stable chemical composition.

BRIQUETTES FOR COUNTERWEIGHT BCP-20

The Renova counterweight briquettes have been developed to replace materials used in machine and equipment counterweights. They are excellent cost-effective substitutes, offering high density and ease of transportation/storage.
